Meet the Artists: Cosette Grider

You can view Cosette’s work at Praxis Ave Gallery during Brewery Artwalk & Open Studios - April 25th & 26th- located at 620 Moulton Avenue #227

My work is rooted in a deep love for storytelling, womanhood, and the quiet moments that invite us to soften, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves. I’m inspired by iconic women, vintage nostalgia, and the beauty found in growth, pleasure, and personal transformation. Each piece I create is layered with intention- meant otherwise feel both bold and tender, playful and powerful.

Through color, texture, and symbolism, my hope is to spark a sense of recognition- something familiar yet newly seen. I invite you to explore my work, linger with what speaks to you, and discover the stories woven into each piece. If something resonated, I’d love to connect and continue the conversation.

‘Spirited Wood, A gestural expression of times struggle. Each sculptural wood frame encompasses a physical struggle against time and the material.

Much like drawing the figure on paper, the spirit of the wood comes alive with each swoosh, twist and twirl through space and time.’

Dina Cline is a Los Angeles–based interdisciplinary artist working across painting, ceramic sculpture, and installation. Her practice engages affect, abstraction, and material systems, examining how emotional and psychological states circulate through images, objects, and contemporary environments. Moving between large-scale paintings and intimate sculptural forms, her work explores optimism, precarity, and accumulation within late-capitalist life.
Cline has exhibited nationally and internationally, with solo exhibitions including Blurred Optics at Brewery Artist Compound (Los Angeles), Train Tracks at Spring Break Art Fair (New York), and Juiced at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been presented at venues and programs including Hauser & Wirth (New York), the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, SCOPE Miami, the Louise Nevelson Chapel (New York), Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (Bangkok, Thailand), Wailoa Center (Hilo, HI), Art Project Paia (Paia, HI).
She has participated in residencies and professional programs with the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, Ox-Bow School of Art, The New Art School Modality, NYC Crit Club, and The Poor Farm Experiment. She will attend a residency at Monte Azul Center for the Arts in Costa Rica in mid-2026. Her work has been supported by grants from the Center for Cultural Innovation, CERF+, the Hawai‘i Community Foundation, and the State of Hawai‘i, and is held in multiple private collections. Cline received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2023 and a BA in Visual Art and Philosophy from BSU.

Meet the Artists: Richard Wilks

You can view Richard’s studio during Brewery Artwalk & Open Studios - April 25th & 26th- located in the 672 S Avenue 21 #6

Los Angeles-based artist, designer, and creative engineer, Richard Wilks received his BFA in 1988 from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He began his career as an experiential designer for clients including Disney, Target, and Nokia, creating environments encouraging conversation and connection.

Now, fusing the eclectic influences of commercial art, the maker movement, and festival culture, Wilks continually expands the scope and breadth of his dynamic sculptures and installations. He uses a combination of physical and digital tools to build pieces from steel, aluminum, and plastic waste, conceptualizing and crafting original machines and fabrication processes to bring his work to life.  

By drawing parallels between biological and mechanical processes, Wilks challenges the distinctions between natural and artificial, individual and environment. His artworks engage viewers in full-body experiences that prompt them to reconsider their relationships to objects, space, and one another. Each of Wilks’s sculptural pieces is motivated by a relentless curiosity about our essential humanity, and requires physical interaction to reach their full potential. Participants use their hands to send the Liquid Forest, a series of luminescent sculptures made from recycled plastic, spinning. Wilks’s inventive vehicles, the Aquatrope and Evotrope—inspired by our elemental connections to the natural world—are ready to drive. Organic shapes like circles and spirals are frequent motifs across Wilks’s work, mirroring Earth’s cycles and seasons. Likewise, Wilks’s fabrication processes often mimic biological ones, with his bespoke machines digesting and transforming refuse into raw materials.

Meet the Artists: Claudia Endler

At the heart of Claudia Endler Designs is a belief that jewelry is more than adornment—it is a form of personal expression.

Balancing symbolism with modern design, Claudia creates contemporary pieces inspired by contrast and juxtaposition: ancient and modern, masculine and feminine, the geometry of the city and the serenity of nature. Each design reflects a passion for clean architectural lines, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the transformative power of beauty with meaning.
Drawing on her background in fashion and love of architecture, Claudia brings an artist’s eye to every piece—creating jewelry that illuminates the wearer rather than outshines them.

For Claudia, modern jewelry has become a reflection of her own journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Through minimalism, she found clarity; through design, she found purpose. Today, she shares that process with her clients, creating meaningful, collaborative and repurposed pieces that honor personal stories and celebrate individuality.  

“Every creation is an invitation—to embrace your truth, express your vision, and wear something that reflects who you are.

The journey awaits.”

Meet the Artists: Art in the Weeds

You can see Art in the Weeds during Brewery Artwalk & Open Studios - April 25th & 26th-

Melanie found her love of photography in a darkroom in college and used as many electives she could to take art classes. Ultimately finishing her college experience with a marketing degree, Melanie continued to be creative but didn’t pursue photography as art until recently.

While traveling for work, Melanie has been all over the world with camera in hand, photographing contrast, shadow and color to bring visibility to objects that may ordinarily have been overlooked.

After growing encouragement from friends and colleagues, Melanie started showing her work publicly as Art in the Weeds, first by self-publishing a photography book and submitting to art shows. She joined the Brewery Community less than two years ago after many visits to the Brewery Artwalk and is grateful for the creative support from this iconic artist community.

Meet the Artists: Sandy Shimooka

My practice usually combines collage, sculpture, painting, video, photography and sound. Installations often incorporate research, books, writing, ephemera and archival materials. I try to utilize recycled and sustainable sources whenever possible.

I like creating playful scavenger hunts that prompt people to ask questions and inspire them to want to learn more. My work is a research based art practice that uses storytelling to weave history, art, art history and culture into interactive, community engagement installations. I want to highlight the commonalities that tie the past to the present. The installations are designed to engage viewers on many levels, using a mixture of figurative, conceptual and abstract motifs. Most elements can stand on their own as art centerpieces. They are designed to allow a range of audiences to interact with the themes in non-linear ways. I hope that artful exchange might inspire thinking about our common origins and our shared futures.
